WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 8, 1887.

1N PREPARING their estimates for the
coming fiscal year, the Commissioners
have provided handsomely for several
public needs. for which the citizens
of Washington should be grateful.
The only item in the estimates that
is at all liable TO be criticised Is the
apportionment OF $s0OO0O among the
various sections Of the city for street
Improvements.
The defenders of the eastern section
claim a great deal-anl justly, too
because of their being neglected for 50
many years, and the Commissioners
give this section about one third of the
whole amount, which is more than
they have ever received before.
An increase in school facilities Is
always of first importance, and enough
new public school buildings are es;i.
mated for to provide for the natural
increase of scholars
The present small police and FIRE de-
partments are also handsomely dealt
with. one hundred moro men, an in.
crease of about forty per cent, is asked
for the police department A new fire
engine house, engine and crew, are
asked for the eastern section of the
city. The department is still further
strengthened by adding three men to
each of the present companies.
1t is also intended to establish four
magistrates offices, for the purpose Of
trying police cases with more dispatch.
The slow.coach process Of trying these
cases before the Police Court has been
the cause of much complaint. People
arrested after S o o'clock In the morning
are not tried until the following day.
and they are then kept in the Police
Court cells until afternoon. This is n
very inhuman practice, because little or
no provision Is made for subsistlng the
unfortunate prisoners. The magistrates
are supposed to hold court early In the
morning, and in the afternoon, If
necessary, and appeals from their de.
cisions are to be tried In the Police
Court. An appropriation of S12 900 Is
asked for this purpose.
In nearly all particulars, in fact the
Commissioners have exercised judi
cious and liberal discrimination, hav.
ing In view the interests of the whole
city. 1t Is nc easy matter to adjust the
somewhat conflicting wants of such q
large area as the District of Columbia
or to harmonic natural diversity OF
views as TO the proper amounts to be
expended and objects to be attained
but, with the conclusions arrived at
there will probably be a general dis
position to coincide.

THE slurs In which certain newspa.
pers arc indulging with reference to
the speeches of President Cleveland
are in the worst possible taste and indi-
cate O narrow .miudedness not at all In
keeping with the universal courtesy
shown by the people to their Chief
Magistrate on his journey. He has
everywhere been received with cor
diali,y, and his remarks on all occa-
sions have been couched in excellent
language and characterized by direct.
ness and, at the same time, ease of
style rarely to be found among mex.
peIienced speakers. a degree of
face,iousness is so customary In the
criticism of public men by the public
press that, however much 1t may lack
In dignity, 1t has come TO be regarded
as permissible and inoffensive; but in
this case the criticism amounts to an
assault, and is doubtless so intended.
Its affected facetlousness degenerates
into malice of the mesner sort, and
the author invariably writes himself,
instesd Of the President, an ass. The
people at large are not so blind but
that they can readily discern the un.
derlying motive OF this species of
blackguardlsm and think all the more

ties his popularity has provoked.
